00:00 I absolutely love it, pretty addicted to it.

00:01 It's not too strenuous and it's good fun, you know what I mean?

00:04 It's a good social.

00:04 It's a sport for everyone as well really.

00:06 It doesn't really matter in terms of your ability,

00:09 you can just go have fun.

00:10 The potential of course is huge.

00:17 I think the only thing that will hamstring it is obviously weather.

00:24 Spain, Mexico, all these places have better weather all year round,

00:29 but somewhere like this, I mean,

00:31 the padium is as good as it gets, six indoor sports,

00:34 it's a brilliant sport.

00:36 So obviously during the winter over here,

00:38 you need facilities like this,

00:39 but as a sport, I think it's so good.

00:44 It has the potential to be one of the leading sports in the country, to be honest.

00:47 When I was in Portugal,

00:49 my good friend over there, stretching, John Surry,

00:52 he's got a place out there,

00:54 very close to St Paddle Court,

00:55 and I just went to go and meet up with him,

00:58 saw him playing, enjoyed it,

00:59 he said, "You've got to have a go, you've got to have a go."

01:01 So I played it out there for the first time,

01:03 and then, yeah, now the sport's grown in the UK

01:06 and more courts are popping up like here,

01:08 so it's great and there's more access to it.

01:10 I mean, I think it's such a great sport.

01:12 It's so sociable.

01:13 Anyone can play, any sort of age ability.

01:15 So I think in the next five to 10 years,

01:18 it's going to be very, very popular.

01:19 I think it's going to be massive.

01:21 It's not because it's my sport,

01:23 it's because the sport is so easy to learn,

01:25 so easy to play.

01:26 You enjoy it for the first time.

01:28 It's not like tennis.

01:28 Tennis is difficult.

01:29 You have to learn before to play to enjoy a game.

01:32 Here, it's so easy to start.

01:33 I've been playing for like two months,

01:34 so I've only just started playing,

01:36 but I just love it here.

01:38 I retired about 80 months ago now,

01:41 so I'm just going to try and play a bit more,

01:45 you know, get a bit better.
